"Adolescents who are absorbing negative messages about who they are and what is expected of them may sink to that level instead of realizing their true potential.

-- Daniel J. Siegel

“I really support criticism as a craft and as a vocation. People who devote as much time to thinking about sound through writing as I do practicing and forming it, the whole system of journalism seems to not yield rewards sustainable as a craft. So few can spend enough time to be serious about it and approach it with confidence and a kind of depth. And that's good on one level, because you have some leveling, that's kind of maybe leveled the petty fiefdoms of undeserving people but it's also made it hard to make a living as a writer.”
“Feller was an ebullient man, who would rather be wrong than undecided.”
